The objective of this project is to strengthen the implementation of the CITES provisions for Pericopsis elata and Pterocarpus erinaceus in Côte d’Ivoire. The implementation of this project will provide a management plan for both species. Inventories of forest stands of these species will be conducted as part of this project and the results will be used as a decision support tool. The project also provides for the involvement of all stakeholders in its implementation for sustainable management of these two species.
